Brent Bozell Explains the Media War on Trump on Fox';s ';Life‚ Liberty &;amp; Levin';
On Sunday';s episode of Life‚ Liberty‚ &;amp; Levin on the Fox News Channel‚ Media Research Center founder and president L. Brent Bozell explained to Mark Levin how the media are relentlessly negative in their coverage of Donald Trump‚ and focus largely on his legal troubles and avoid covering how President Biden is failing on the issues from inflation to immigration to crime.Levin asked Bozell: ";What do you make of the media';s coverage of Biden';s war on Donald Trump?";Bozell began with Trump';s presidency: ";Over a four year period we looked at that media';s coverage ofDonald Trump when he waspresident.And found that on average every monthit was 90% negativecoverage they gave.No matter what his successes andhis successes‚ you cannot arguehis successes.But they just didn';t coverthem.";BOZELL: So we started doing it again. In February the number has gonedown.It is now 89% negative‚ [down] from 90%.What are they covering?They are covering exactly whatJoe Biden wants covered.They want his trials covered.They want those 91 felony countscovered‚ and they are covered and slantedagainst him.This is exactly what the Bidencampaign wants!Why? Because if you';re going to cover the trial‚ you';ve got tocover the issues.If you are going to cover theissues you are going to look atinflation.You';re going to look at interestrates. You';re going to look at theborder. That';s out of control. You';re going to look at our Americancities where crime is runningrampant.You';re going to look at thoseissues and every single timethey fall in favor of DonaldTrump.So this is the playbook the lefthad.It is with the Biden campaignand it is with the news media todo nothing but focus on trialsand legal woes and do it from anegative perspective. And you can';t argue the numbers I just gave you -- 89 percent!Levin then noted the media want to compare Trump to Hitler‚ just as they did to Barry Goldwater‚ to Richard Nixon‚ and Ronald Reagan. They engage in character assassination. Bozell agreed‚ and added the ";end of democracy"; spin.BOZELL:The most recent one is anti-democracy.Where did that word come from?This is a talking point‚ I thinkit came out of the Bidenadministration.Now everybody on the left isusing it. That Donald Trump‚ if you elect Donald Trump youwill have the end of democracyas we know it.This is the height of hypocrisy.Bozell said NBC fired Ronna McDaniel a few days after their hired her because she was an ";election denier‚"; after they denied that Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 for years‚ with their empty charges that Trump colluded with the Russian government to steal the election. They denied George W. Bush won in 2000‚ and even in 2004‚ when he won bigger. Stacey Abrams denied losing the gubernatorial race in Georgia‚ and they celebrated her as they mangled the facts. They only want ";liberal Republicans"; on NBC‚ he said.Earlier‚ Bozell and Levin discussed how the media tilt toward Hamas in their war on Israel‚ using Hamas body counts like they were wonderfully precise. Bozell also mentioned how our Dan Schneider pointed out that Google';s AI chatbot refused to answer questions about Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists‚ and wouldn';t answer when asked: what is the capital of Israel?
